Hi All,
I recently asked out moderators for ideas on how to improve the TCLA forum. Thank you to @yanerlim for suggesting the following "bookmarks" feature, which we have now implemented.
The Bookmarks Feature
Bookmarks is a way to conveniently display a link to content of thread and profile posts you find informative or otherwise interesting.
This saves you the hassle of rummaging through multiple threads or multiple pages in order to locate that single post you wanted to have a second look at.
How does it work?
Suppose you come across a post that you want to save. You will now see a "Bookmark" link located at the bottom of each thread post or profile post. Each bookmark may include a note to remind yourself as to why you decided to bookmark it in the first place.
If you click the "Bookmark" link, you will see a popup.
You can then:
To access your bookmarks, click on your profile or the bookmark symbol next to your inbox.
Bookmarks display a note, a snippet of the post message, as well as an overlay of the post. Each bookmark contains:
Enjoy!

If you click the "Bookmark" link, you will see a popup.
You can then:
- Add a title
- Organise bookmarks using Tags. These tags are used to filter the bookmark list on the Account page.
- Display a bookmark publicly (so you can share your bookmarks with other members)
- Favourite a bookmark
To access your bookmarks, click on your profile or the bookmark symbol next to your inbox.
Bookmarks display a note, a snippet of the post message, as well as an overlay of the post. Each bookmark contains:
- Optional note to self.
- Post message snippet which may include thumbnails of any attachments.
- An overlay with the post message (without attachments), thus removing the need to physically go to the post in question. This overlay is triggered when the note to self or message snippet are clicked.
- Links to the post author, the post, and the thread or profile it belongs to.
- Thread name may include a preview tooltip and thread prefix. This option is set in the ACP.
Enjoy!
